An Lingrong's Rebirth: Changing Fate from the Suiyuxuan

Before Zhen Huan and the others entered the palace, Cui Jinxi had been serving the old empress dowager in the palace.

Although Cui Jinxi had only stayed in Shoukang Palace at that time, after working in the palace for so many years, she naturally knew many unknown secrets!

An Lingrong suggested that Zhen Huan ask Cui Jinxi to see if she could get any clues from her. After hearing this, Zhen Huan thought about it and agreed with her.

"You are right. I will go find Jinxi right now!"

Zhen Huan made up her mind, so she called Liu Zhu and asked her to help her summon Cui Jinxi.

"Well, sister, I'll go back first."

An Lingrong was afraid that Cui Jinxi would have many things that she couldn't say because of her presence, so she planned to avoid her for the time being.

"What are you doing back?"

Zhen Huan frowned, pulled An Lingrong and said, "With the relationship between you and me, what is there to avoid? Besides, everyone knows that we sisters always stand together, and Jingxi is no exception."

Compared to An Lingrong's worry that Cui Jinxi might feel taboo, Zhen Huan didn't take it to heart at all. She was unwilling to let her leave, and the two of them started to pull each other.

This was the scene Cui Jinxi saw when she came in. Her eyelids immediately jumped and she asked hurriedly, "My two young ladies, what happened to you?"

"nothing."

When Zhen Huan saw Cui Jinxi coming and An Lingrong's expression was stiff, she knew that she could not leave, so she let go of An Lingrong's hand and sat back in her chair.

"Alas." An Lingrong sighed softly, shook her head, and said nothing more.

Her starting point was to make Cui Jinxi feel free to worry about nothing, which would help them get the most detailed information.

But since Zhen Huan herself didn't care, An Lingrong was relieved.

"That's good."

Cui Jinxi looked at the two with suspicion, but could not tell anything from their faces, so she gave up her curiosity, bowed, and asked Zhen Huan, "Liu Zhu came to me just now and said that the young lady had something to ask me to do. I wonder what it is?"

"Jinxi, no need to be so polite."

Zhen Huan said: "You are an old man in the palace, you have seen a lot, I have something to ask you."

"My lord, may I ask what you think? I will tell you everything I know." Cui Jinxi said respectfully.

"I was in Xianfu Palace today, but I met Concubine Duan."

Zhen Huan told Cui Jinxi how she met Concubine Duan in Xianfu Palace and how they all chatted afterwards.

When Cui Jinxi first heard Zhen Huan say that she had actually met Concubine Duan, a hint of surprise appeared on her face, but this emotion was fleeting and she quickly returned to her usual calm state, making it difficult to tell what she was thinking from her face.

Cui Jinxi knew that what Zhen Huan wanted to ask her this time was probably related to Concubine Duan.

And now Zhen Huan had just explained the whole story, and obviously hadn't touched upon the main topic, but she was not in a hurry and just listened patiently.

“There’s nothing to this.”

Zhen Huan looked at Cui Jinxi and said slowly, "But just when we were about to say goodbye, Concubine Duan suddenly called me and whispered in my ear, 'Be careful of Concubine Hua'. I was really confused by what she said. Jinxi, do you know why?"

Seeing that Zhen Huan finally raised the question, Cui Jinxi's expression was not as calm as before, but became a little nervous.

When An Lingrong saw this scene, she knew that she must also know about those past events.

"My lady, I think that Concubine Duan reminded you in this way because she must be hoping that you can be careful and not suffer any loss at the hands of Concubine Hua..."

Cui Jinxi's tone was a little hesitant, and she didn't dare to look at Zhen Huan. It was obvious that she didn't say what was in her heart.

"Jinxi, I understand what you mean, but Concubine Hua is becoming more and more arrogant. Even if I don't want to be her enemy, she may not let me go. Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle!"

Zhen Huan also heard Cui Jinxi's hesitation, so she told her why she was determined to unravel the mystery and find the truth.

"Yes……"

Cui Jinxi nodded, knowing in her heart that Concubine Hua was indeed hating Zhen Huan.

It's just because Concubine Hua is still immersed in the emperor's generous favor and is surrounded by old enemies such as the Queen and Concubine Qi, so she can't spare the attention to deal with Zhen Huan for the time being.

By the time Concubine Hua recovers, it will be difficult for Zhen Huan to remain unscathed.

Even if Zhen Huan had no intention of competing for favor, as long as the emperor was still thinking about her, Concubine Hua would definitely want to get rid of her as soon as possible.

"This servant...does know some past events."

Cui Jinxi is optimistic about Zhen Huan and doesn't want her to be defeated by Concubine Hua early.

Therefore, after a moment of silence, Cui Jinxi said, "Back then, when I was still a maid in the palace, I witnessed Concubine Hua being married into Prince Yong's palace as a concubine. At that time, Concubine Duan was already in the palace..."

Cui Jinxi recalled the old events in the palace many years ago, and then focused on extracting the relevant parts about Concubine Hua and Concubine Duan.

"Both Concubine Duan and Concubine Qi are from military families. As daughters of generals, they naturally have similar interests. Although Concubine Hua is domineering, she was not as arrogant as she is now when she first married into the palace. On the contrary, because she was new, she acted a little cautiously. She and Concubine Duan were good friends, and they had a deep sisterly relationship, but later..."

Seeing that Zhen Huan and An Lingrong were listening attentively to her story, Cui Jinxi smiled bitterly and continued, "Later, Concubine Hua became pregnant, and the whole palace was shocked. The Emperor was also very happy and asked people to take good care of her. Everything was fine at first, but for some reason, she suddenly had a miscarriage!"

"what?"

Zhen Huan was listening attentively, but when Cui Jinxi mentioned Concubine Hua's miscarriage, her eyes widened, "How could this happen?"

According to Cui Jinxi, Hua Fei has been deeply loved by Yongzheng, who was still a prince, since she married into the palace, and she also enjoyed extremely high treatment after she became pregnant.

Under such circumstances, how could Concubine Hua suddenly have a miscarriage?

"No one knows the truth behind this, and we don't know whether it was an accident or..."

Cui Jinxi lowered her voice and said, "It's just that someone witnessed Concubine Hua breaking into the palace where Concubine Duan lived before she was out of confinement. A conflict broke out between the two sides, and then Concubine Duan became seriously ill, which alarmed the emperor and the empress dowager. Since then, Concubine Duan has been ill, and Concubine Hua seems to be irreconcilable with her!"

"So, Hua Fei's child...is because of Duan Fei's?"

Combining Cui Jinxi's words, Zhen Huan came to this conclusion, but she could not equate the Concubine Duan she had met before with this matter.

Concubine Duan looks so noble and elegant, as if she has no desires or requests. How could she do something to harm a child?

On the other hand, Concubine Hua is more like a "villain"!
